Edward Klein‘s ’The Amateur‘ Details Controversy Between ’Very Jealous’ Michelle Obama and Oprah
New York Times bestselling author Edward Klein’s controversial new book “The Amateur” is already making major headlines, even before its official release.

(Related: Obama Team Tried to Pay Rev. Wright $150K to Keep Quiet Until After 2008 Election) But perhaps most amusing, of all the reports, is that Michelle Obama and Oprah have been engaged in a subtle “Mean Girls” style battle of wills, with Michelle Obama even criticizing Oprah’s “girth.” The New York Post, which pre-released excerpts of the book, explained: “When phoned, dropped everything and took her [...]

Quite comically, the MSNBC anchor’s first gaffe came when he couldn’t even correctly request an answer to a question. “Let’s go back to, what is ‘Crossword Clues E?’ I [...]
